Lake Placid Cascade Ale

Brewed by Lake Placid Pub & Brewery
Style: American Pale Ale
Lake Placid, New York USA

from growler - cloudy amber color with modest but well sustained white head. A nicely balanced apa,piney,nice dry finish. both this and the IPA (Frostbite) are exceptional and several notches above their flagship brews.

Orange/brown body with a medium sized head. Nice lacing. Aroma is citric and hoppy. Taste is full of cascade hops. This is a very solid pale ale, much better than their 46'er IPA.

A nice looking beer after pouring from the growler. It is hazy, although that was expected as Lake Placid Pub & Brewery does not filter their beer (according to the brewery tour that my brother and I took). I smell lemon/lime, maybe some grapefruit. A strong hop presence, although not overpowering. The cirtus rings through also, making this beer a refreshing solid brew. I hope Lake Placid keeps making this beer, it could be a hit.

Pours a slightly hazy amber/copper color with a nice moderate white head which lingers with nice lacing. Nose is citrusy with maybe a hint of hops. Start is a good mix of citrus and hops, which turns into a hoppier aftertaste and then morphs into a real smooth aftertaste. This is a very enjoyable beer. **Note** I added this beer and am not certain of the alcohol content or the exact style. It is definitely an Ale. I picked this growler up from the Plattsburgh NY portion of the brewery while on a tour. Unfortunately, they did not list this on their website. The nomenclature may be derived from Cascade Mountain in the Adirondaks, which is a favorite 4000+ ft mountain to climb with an amazing and beautiful rocky peak.
